So Barry, where's your naked female spokes person? What's your personal impression of the Gilmores? I know what two reviewers think as well as one display room.

Barry,We've had many manufacturers, including Steve McCormack, Mike Elliott, Andy Payor, Brian and Paul Weitzel, Albert Von Schweikert, Ralph Karsten (and probably others I'm forgetting) plus countless dealers. I don't see what's different about y... 
Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe?
Frankly I'm enjoying this. I have no objection to manufactures giving their "slant" on things. I do this all the time for the gear I love :^).Barry, are your sand filled boxes as good a way as any for solving the vibration problems being discussed... 
Congratulations to Marco

What small center will sound good with Maggie MMGs

No Wires..... Ever Wifey Dearest Audio Riddle

What small center will sound good with Maggie MMGs
I have not tried the speakers Fishcall suggested, but it sounds like a good idea.I'm running the Vandersteen VCC-1 which is a phase coherent two way, where the tweeter is mounted in a coax configuration. It disappears between my Soundlabs, creatin... 
Jazz Again
I am a huge Jazz fan. I have a library of several thousands titles, many are what I consider mainstream Jazz. There are dozens of labels that turned out great music by well known Jazz artists. But if I had to direct you to what I consider the moth...

I've been posting here since 1999. Most of these questions have been answered several times since then. Like Google, the person looking for information needs to think about how to search. If you want members experience with "Audio Research preamps...
